A BRMC thread? Nice.
It's funny, I actually got into these guys about 4 or 5 years ago when I heard The Edge mention them as one of his favorite new bands in an interview.
I went out and bought the self-titled debut and Take Them On, On Your Own and I still love both albums. I didn't buy Howl or Baby 81 but I've heard tracks from both and it's quality stuff, for sure. That was an interesting shift in sound they made going from Take Them On to Howl, wasn't it?
Whatever Happened to My Rock and Roll, Stop, and Six Barrel Shotgun are a few of my favorites off the top of my head. And I'm Aching, too.
